As said before, Diesel engines will burn jetfuel, however the lubrication properties are much lower so the injection system has to be designed to live with that. Indeed. When I worked on a pipeline delivering JetA to CLE, we'd chat with the mechanics that maintained the refueling trucks. They were run on JetA, as was much of the ramp lice. The logistical advantage of doing so must have exceeded the cost difference of trucking in #2. The mechanics told me that neither Detroit or Cummings recommended #1, and it likely reduced the time between overhauls, but it still made sense on the bottom line. -- A host is a host from coast to & no one will talk to a host that's close........[v].(301) 56-LINUX Unless the host (that isn't close).........................pob 1433 is busy, hung or dead....................................20915-1433 |

Number 2 will tun into jelly if it gets too cold, so most truck operators avoid it unless there is some State requirement to use it. |
